Mikes Wholemeal bread

So this week I’m extremely proud to release a new range of soups under my “Good from Scratch” brand. Manufactured by the Good taste company these soups have heaps of favour and of course as healthy as I can make them.

The flavours are:

Carrot & Ginger with Turmeric and shredded free-range Chicken

Roasted Kumara & Cauliflower with Coconut Cream & Indian Spice

Shiitake Mushroom with White Beans & Feta

It was really hard to decide on these three soups as the world of soups is so vast but what we have is three soups that have flavour from ingredients instead of salt and sugar.

So the recipe this week is the perfect partner to soup.

Mike’s Wholemeal bread

Makes about 12 rolls or 1 large loaf

200 gms warm water

10 gm dried yeast

1 tsp brown sugar

1/2 cup wholemeal flour

Place warm water in a small bowl and crumble yeast into it. Add sugar and leave to ferment for about 20 minutes.
Place both the flours, oil and salt in a mixer bowl. Then add fermented yeast mix. Mix with dough hook for 4 minutes.
